“One of the reasons we chose Villebois is because of its lovely parks and common areas. It also has a slightly urban feel, compared to other developments we looked at, with the potential for so much more. The very nature of its design facilitates easy communication between neighbors…parks and green spaces nearby, courtyards in the front of some of the homes, shared common areas, and the (eventual) village center. Villebois promotes ‘getting out there and meeting your neighbors.’ We also like the economic, social, and ethnic diversity compared with other areas in the suburbs.  There are apartments, condos, assisted living homes, and single family homes all in one neighborhood. Living together and understanding different points of view and lifestyles are all great experiences we can give our children. That’s why we love it here, that’s why we love where we live.”

Villebois is unmatched in its commitment to community.

This commitment starts in the Villebois Village Center, the hub of the neighborhood, where a bustling mix of row homes, loft-style condominiums and retail space will embody the character of a European village.

At the heart of the neighborhood, sits Piazza Villebois – a lively plaza and dedicated community space for area residents to sit and enjoy their morning coffee, spend hours chatting with old friends or while away the afternoon on the bocce ball courts. Piazza Villebois will also be a location for popular events such as live musical entertainment, the Villebois Sunday Market and seasonal festivals.

Additionally, if you’re in the market to invest in commercial real estate in Wilsonville, Oregon, the Villebois Village Center is the prime location. Soon the neighborhood will have its own hot spots, along with commercial Villebois spaces such as offices, retail shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafés and other conveniences.

And while Villebois retail is being completed, you can find incredible places to eat in Portland, which was recently named one of the country’s best restaurant cities by The New York Times. Because Portland is such a short drive or ride away on the WES Commuter Rail, you’re always close to everything you want or need.

The biggest risk for homebuyers in today’s real estate market is interest rates, not price depreciation. Yes, home prices are currently experiencing a bit of pressure, and yes, there is inventory in the market, but waiting to define a “bottom” in a real estate downturn that is 24 months old in which prices have already adjusted, is very difficult.

The bigger issue and real risk to buyers are interest rates. A sudden rise in interest rates can easily erase the benefit of finding a home at a “bargain”. Long-term interest rates are directly impacted by the health of our economy and inflation. If the economy is struggling or if there are increased expectations of inflation, long-term interest rates will rise. Both of these factors are at work in the current market.

Why are rising interest rates so “bad”? Because most people finance the purchase of their own home and any increase in interest rates will decrease what an individual can borrow. The impact is significant. Here’s an example:

A 0.72% interest rate increase for a borrower who qualifies for a $400,000 loan would reduce their qualification to $370,482. This is a decrease of 7.4%. Unless the home has depreciated 7.4%, or the seller cuts you a “deal”, you’ve lost. By waiting for interest rates to decrease, you’ll qualify for less, or pay significantly more in interest over the term of your loan.

No one can accurately predict the future of real estate values, but historical trends tell us that long-term real estate investing in Oregon is a sound decision. In addition, prices have already adjusted in many markets. That’s why Oregon master planned community, Villebois, is a good choice if you are considering buying a new home. Now is the time. Interest rates are still relatively low and the risk of rising interest rates is quite real.

Invest with Costa Pacific Communities, Oregon builder/developer. There is even an amazing leaseback opportunity currently being offered on the first homes available in the Village Center.
